I just installed the free fix from Dometic on my electric awning. This is the fix so you can let one side down during rain so it can drain off. The kit was very easy to install the instructions are very easy to read. You do need two people to install as you have to hold up the awning while replacing the lower leg on the non electric leg of the awning. Now the awning works just like a manual one.
Great fix too bad they couldn't have done this in the beginning.

One very patient wife and one furry child who travels with us. Forty-two years of trailering and camping, and I still have a blast.

I will post some pics of it installed tonight. When you go to your dealer you will need the model number of the hardware and how far the arm is from the door. At least that is what they wanted from my dealer. The number is kinda hard to find. Look inside the lower arm either front or rear. Mine was on the motorized arm. The kit was free but had to pay shipping. It rained here today and I tried it out. It works great just like the manual ones now.

I wonder why some dealers want the info, and others don't?? I took my model number to the dealer because I assumed he needed it. He said they only made one kit and it would fit all the 9100 awnings. I did not pay shipping either.
